Without the express written approval of CNL, in no event shall the aggregate amount of CNL’s Initial Capital exceed Thirteen Million Fifty-Three Thousand Dollars ($13,053,000) plus any increase to such amount as is approved by CNL (such amount being referred to herein as the “CNL Maximum Initial Capital”), and, without the express written approval of MCR, in no event shall the aggregate amount of MCR’s Initial Capital exceed Six Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Dollars ($687,000) plus any increase to such amount as is approved by MCR (such amount being referred to herein as the “MCR Maximum Initial Capital”). Any Construction Cost Overruns (as defined in the Development Agreement) funded by MCR shall not be treated as a contribution by MCR to the Company or in any manner construed so as to increase MCR’s Capital Account or MCR’s Initial Capital under this Agreement, shall not be treated as Additional Capital of MCR under this Agreement, shall not be treated as a Member Loan by MCR to the Company and shall not entitle MCR to any interest on or, except as provided in the Development Agreement, any refund of any amounts so advanced and, except as provided in the Development Agreement, shall not entitle MCR or to any other rights or remedies against the Company or any Member.

4.2 No Other Contributions or Advances. Except as expressly required by this Article 4, neither Member shall have any obligation to make any capital contribution to the Company nor to advance any funds to the Company. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Member shall have any right to make any capital contribution or advance of funds to the Company.

4.3 No Interest Payable. No Member shall receive any interest on any of its Capital Contributions. The Operating Return shall not be deemed interest.

4.4 No Withdrawals. No Capital Contribution shall be withdrawn except as hereinafter expressly stipulated.

4.5 Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) When the Operating Member determines in its good faith business judgment that capital is needed by the Company to pay for (i) costs provided in the Project Budget for which Capital Contributions have not been previously made by the Members and that are not being paid for out of Company Financing or (ii) costs of development or construction of the Project in excess of the Project Budget, which costs have been approved by Member Consent (and for which each of CNL and MCR has approved an increase in the CNL Maximum Initial Capital and the MCR Maximum Initial Capital, respectively, as provided in Section 4.1) (collectively, the “Additional Initial Capital”), then the Operating Member shall cause notice to be delivered to the Members setting forth the purposes and amounts of such Additional Initial Capital. Each such notice delivered to the Members shall constitute an “Additional Initial Capital Funding Notice” pursuant to this Section 4.5(a). All amounts funded by MCR pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) shall constitute a portion of MCR’s Initial Capital. All amounts funded by CNL pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) shall constitute a portion of CNL’s Initial Capital. Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of an Additional Initial Capital Funding Notice (in each case, the “Additional Initial Capital Request Date”), CNL and MCR shall contribute to the Company, in proportion to their Percentage Interests, as Additional Initial Capital, the amount so required, up to the CNL Maximum Initial Capital, in the case of CNL, and up to the MCR Maximum Initial Capital, in the case of MCR. If a Member fails to fund any of its Additional Initial Capital when and as required by this Section 4.5(a), the Non-Failing Member shall have an option to purchase the Failing Member’s Entire Interest for a purchase price equal to the Failing Member’s Unreturned Initial Capital and the outstanding principal balance of any Member Loans and Failing Member Loans made by the Failing Member by providing the Failing Member not less than ten (10) days’ prior, written notice of intent to exercise such option. If the Failing Member fails to cure such failure prior to the expiration of such ten (10)-day notice period, and the Non-Failing Member exercises such option, the Failing Member will cease to have any interest in the Company or the Project, its Membership Interest in the Company thereafter representing only the right to receive the purchase price due it, and the Failing Member shall deliver its Entire Interest to the Non-Failing Member within ten (10) days against payment by the Non-Failing Member of the purchase price for the Failing Member’s Entire Interest.

(b) If the Operating Member determines in its good faith business judgment that additional funds (other than amounts required to be funded under Section 4.5(a) above) are needed by the Company to fund any Operating Shortfall, or to reimburse the Members or their Affiliates for Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred on behalf of the Company (other than Out-of-Pocket Costs related to or arising out of the development and construction of the Project to the extent MCR is responsible for such Out-of-Pocket Costs under the Development Agreement), or to pay other debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company (other than items related to or arising out of the development and construction of the Project to the extent MCR is responsible for such items under the Development Agreement), or to repay or pay down Company Financing when and as required by the terms thereof, then Operating Member shall cause notice to be delivered to the Members setting forth the purposes and amounts of such additional funds. Each such notice delivered to the Members shall constitute an “Additional Funding Notice”. All amounts funded by CNL pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) shall constitute a portion of CNL’s Additional Capital, and all amounts funded by MCR pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) shall constitute a portion of MCR’s Additional Capital. Within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of an

Additional Funding Notice (in each case, the “Additional Capital Request Date”), each of CNL and MCR may (but shall have no obligation to) contribute to the Company, in proportion to its Percentage Interest, as Additional Capital, its share of the amount so required.

(c) Any and all funds contributed by the Members pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be credited to their Capital Accounts in the Company and shall constitute Additional Capital (in the case of contribution of Additional Capital) or Additional Initial Capital (in the case of contribution of Additional Initial Capital), as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If a Member (the “Failing Member”) fails to contribute an amount equal to the entire amount requested of it pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) within the applicable period after the Additional Initial Capital Request Date or the Additional Capital Request Date, as applicable, and if any other Member (the “Non-Failing Member”) makes its requested contribution within such applicable time period pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) and, thereafter, so notifies any Failing Member of its intention as to the election by the Non-Failing Member to exercise one of its options set forth in this Section 4.5(d) (the “Notice of Intention”), and such Failing Member fails to fully remedy its failure to contribute such requested capital within ten (10) days after the giving of such Notice of Intention, then one or more of the following may occur, at the option and election of the Non-Failing Member, which election shall be specified prospectively in the Notice of Intention: (i) the Non-Failing Member may require the Company to repay immediately to the Non-Failing Member the Capital Contribution it made pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b); (ii) the Non-Failing Member may, but need not, make an additional Capital Contribution to the Company not in excess of the amount such Failing Member failed to contribute pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b), in which case (A) the balance of the Non-Failing Member’s Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Capital or Unreturned Initial Capital, as applicable, shall be increased by $1.15 for each $1.00 not funded by such Failing Member in response to the applicable Additional Capital Funding Notice or Additional Initial Capital Funding Notice and funded by the Non-Failing Member in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.5 (which adjustment shall be treated as a further amount of Additional Capital or Additional Initial Capital, as applicable, contributed by such Non-Failing Member), (B) each of such Failing Member’s distribution percentages pursuant to Sections 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i) (other than the percentages for MCR’s promoted interest) shall be reduced by one percent (1%) for every $20,000 of Additional Capital or Additional Initial Capital such Failing Member failed to contribute to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.5 and Unreturned the Non-Failing Member Unreturned in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.5 and, in turn, each of the Non-Failing Member’s distribution percentages under Sections 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i) (other than the percentages for MCR’s promoted interest) shall be increased by the equivalent percentage, and (C) any adjustments to the Members’ Capital Account balances to give effect to the foregoing shall be treated as liquidated damages for tax purposes; (iii) the Non-Failing Member may cause the Company to be dissolved, in which case such Non-Failing Member will be the Liquidating Member and will have the right to cause the Project and other Company assets to be sold or otherwise liquidated in accordance with Section 13.2; or (iv) the Non-Failing Member may elect to loan to such Failing Member (“Failing Member Loan”), which Failing Member Loan shall be disbursed to the Company and treated as Additional Capital or Additional Initial Capital, as applicable, contributed to the Company by such Failing Member, an amount equal to the amount such Failing Member failed to contribute pursuant to Section 4.5(a)

or 4.5(b), which Failing Member Loan made by the Non-Failing Member to the Failing Member shall bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum (compounded annually) from the date of the advance until such Failing Member Loan is paid to the Non-Failing Member in full. Payments with respect to such Failing Member Loan shall be made to the Non-Failing Member out of distributions or proceeds from purchase of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company that would otherwise have been payable to such Failing Member under this Agreement until fully repaid (which payments will be applied first to accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance and then to the outstanding principal balance of such Failing Member Loan). Any such Failing Member Loan made to replace Additional Capital shall be nonrecourse to such Failing Member, shall be secured by such Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company and proceeds thereof, and shall be satisfied only out of distributions in respect of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company and proceeds from purchase of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company as provided above in this Section 4.5(d). Any such Failing Member Loan made to replace Additional Initial Capital shall be recourse to such Failing Member, shall be secured by such Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company and proceeds thereof and shall be payable out of distributions in respect of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company and proceeds from purchase of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company as provided above in this Section 4.5(d), but satisfaction of such Failing Member Loan shall not be limited to distributions in respect of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company or proceeds from purchase of the Failing Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, and the Non-Failing Member shall retain all rights available at law of in equity to collect such Failing Member Loan. A Failing Member Loan is prepayable at any time or from time to time. If not sooner paid in full, a Failing Member Loan made to replace Additional Capital shall mature upon the liquidation of the Company; if not sooner paid in full, a Failing Member Loan made to replace Additional Initial Capital shall mature upon the earlier of liquidation of the Company or demand of the Non-Failing Member that holds such Failing Member Loan. The rights under this Section 4.5(d) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company and the other Member in the event of a failure of any Member to fund a request for Additional Capital. In the event of a failure of any Member to fund a request for Additional Initial Capital, the Company and the other Member shall have, in addition to the rights under this Section 4.5(d), all other rights and remedies available at law of in equity to compel funding of such Additional Initial Capital.

ARTICLE 5. MEMBER LOANS

5.1 Member Loans. No Member shall be obligated to lend any money to the Company. If the Operating Member determines that it is necessary or appropriate for the Company to borrow money from any of the Members, then the Operating Member shall cause notice (a “Loan Request Notice”) to be sent to each of the Members, setting forth the amount proposed to be borrowed from the Members and the purpose of the proposed Member Loan. Each of the Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to lend to the Company the amount to be borrowed as set forth in such Loan Request Notice multiplied by its respective Percentage Interest, which shall be exercisable by notice given to the Company and the other Member within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Loan Request Notice from the Operating Member or by such earlier date as shall have been determined to be appropriate by the Operating Member, as set forth in the Loan Request Notice. If any of the Members does not lend the full amount set forth for it in the Loan Request Notice, the other Member shall have the option to

lend the balance. If any Member(s) shall lend any money to the Company, such Member Loan shall not constitute a Capital Contribution by such Member(s) or entitle it to any increase in its share of the distributions of the Company. Each Member Loan shall be an obligation of the Company, and no Member shall be personally obligated to repay the Member Loan and the Member Loan shall be payable or collectible only out of the assets of the Company. All such Member Loans shall be on commercially reasonable terms as determined by Member Consent and shall bear interest at a rate of 2% per annum above the prime rate (or the average thereof if published as a range) in each case as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal (or if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, the prime rate as published in a publication of national circulation selected by Member Consent), compounded annually, adjusted as of the date of each prime rate change published, but in no event shall the rate of interest exceed the highest rate permitted by law for the obligor which, if exceeded, could subject the lending Member to penalties or forfeiture of all or any part of the interest or principal associated with such Member Loan.

5.2 Payment of Member Loans. Member Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms as agreed to by Member Consent. Unless the terms of the Member Loans provide otherwise, if more than one of the Members have outstanding Member Loans, amounts paid in respect of Member Loans shall be paid pro rata to the Members in accordance with the total principal and interest amounts of Member Loans then outstanding. All amounts received on Member Loans made by a particular Member shall be applied to repay those Member Loans in the chronological order in which they were made.

(c) The Managing Member shall have the right to delegate any of the above responsibilities and authority to any other Member of the Company, subject to the acceptance by such Member of such delegation. The Managing Member hereby designates MCR as Operating Member and delegates to MCR, subject to the right of the Managing Member to terminate such delegation in accordance with Section 6.7, the foregoing authority of the Managing Member described in subparagraphs (ii) through (xviii) of Section 6.1(b).

CNL will use good faith efforts to consult with MCR on matters constituting CNL Decisions; provided, however, that CNL shall have no obligation to implement or otherwise be subject to any information or input offered by MCR in connection therewith, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement.

(c) Each Member shall use good faith efforts to provide the other Member with not less than thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any proposed decision that requires the approval of such other Member under Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b); provided, however, that in the event of an emergency or other circumstance that does not reasonably permit such advance notice, a Member may call upon the other Member to respond within a shorter, reasonable period of time (but in no event less than two (2) Business Days’ advance notice). Member Consent or CNL Consent, as applicable, may be by written consent or may occur pursuant to a meeting or by conference call with the results confirmed in writing, and such written consent or written confirmation may be delivered in the form of facsimile, electronic mail, telex, telecopy or telegraph. An agenda for each meeting shall be prepared in advance by the Members in consultation with each other. Approval by Member Consent or CNL Consent, as applicable, of the matter being considered shall be binding on the Company and the Members for all matters. Upon the request of any of the Members, the Operating Member shall cause written minutes to be prepared of all actions taken by the Members at meetings to consider Major Decisions and/or CNL Decisions and shall deliver a copy thereof to each of the Members within seven (7) days after the date of the meeting.

(d) The authority of both the Managing Member and the Operating Member to designate a bank for the deposit of Company funds shall be subject to Section 6.3 below.

6.3 Bank Accounts. The Company will maintain separate bank accounts in such banks as the Members by Member Consent may designate or any lender of the Company may require, which accounts shall be exclusively for the deposit and disbursement of funds of the Company. All funds of the Company shall be promptly deposited in such accounts. The Operating Member may designate representatives of Operating Member to be authorized signatories for such accounts from time to time, provided that a representative of MCR shall at all times be an authorized signatory on all Company bank accounts without the requirement of any co-signatory for such accounts. All signatories shall be insured by fidelity bonds or employee dishonesty insurance on terms reasonably acceptable to CNL.

6.4 Annual Budgets. No later than sixty (60) days before Completion, the Operating Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared by the Property Manager for the Project, for CNL’s review and approval, a proposed operating budget and a proposed capital budget, each for the portion of the then-current calendar year remaining after Completion, in a form reasonably satisfactory to CNL. The Operating Member shall consult with CNL with respect to such proposed operating budget and proposed capital budget. Once approved by CNL, the applicable final proposed operating budget shall become the “Operating Budget” hereunder, and, once approved by CNL, the applicable final proposed capital budget shall become the “Capital Budget” hereunder. Thereafter, no later than November 1^st of each calendar year, the Operating Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared by the Property Manager for the Project, for CNL’s review and approval, a proposed operating budget and a proposed capital budget for the upcoming calendar year. The Operating Member shall consult with CNL with respect to such proposed operating budget and proposed capital budget with the goal that CNL and MCR agree on each such proposed budget on or before December 1^st of each calendar year. If approved by CNL, the final proposed operating budget for such subsequent calendar year shall become the then operative “Operating Budget” hereunder for such calendar year. If approved by CNL, the final proposed capital budget for such subsequent calendar year shall become the then operative “Capital Budget” hereunder for such calendar year. If, as of the commencement of any calendar year, all or any portion of a proposed Operating Budget has not been approved by CNL, the Operating Member shall be authorized to operate the Company in accordance with those portions of the prior calendar year’s Operating Budget that pertain to the portions of the proposed Operating Budget that have not been so approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until a new Operating Budget for a calendar year is approved by CNL, the Operating Member may make expenditures for real estate taxes, scheduled debt service payments, insurance premiums for insurance maintained in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, common area expenses, fulfillment of obligations to tenants under Permitted Leases and utilities, regardless of the amounts permitted therefore in the prior calendar year’s Operating Budget.

6.5 Insurance. The Operating Member shall cause the Company to obtain and maintain all insurance described on Exhibit D to the extent that such required coverages are available on commercially reasonable terms. If the Operating Member determines that any of such insurance coverages are not available on commercially reasonable terms, then the Operating Member shall notify the Members and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.5, the Members shall agree upon the coverages to be maintained and the means of placing the related insurance. Nothing in this Section 6.5 requires the Operating Member to obtain insurance coverage that it is unable to arrange on commercially reasonable terms. CNL will have the right to place any insurance coverage listed in Exhibit D that the Operating Member advises it is unable to obtain so long as the cost and terms for such coverage arranged by CNL are commercially reasonable.

6.6 Consultation Regarding the Project. CNL, as Managing Member, directly or through its agents or Affiliates, notwithstanding the delegation of authority granted to the Operating Member, shall have the right to consult with and provide comments to the Operating Member on significant issues relating to the management and business of the Company and development of the Project, and, if requested by CNL, each of the Company and the Operating Member will make available its officers and representatives of its accountants to meet with CNL or its agents or Affiliates from time to time during each year at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and to review the management, progress and conditions (financial and otherwise) of the Project and the management of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the rights of CNL to provide such consultation shall include: (a) the right to discuss, and provide advice with respect to, the Company’s business (including the management of the Project) with the Operating Member and the Company’s officers, employees, managers and agents and the right to consult with and advise the Operating Member on matters materially affecting the Company (including the Project); (b) the right to submit business proposals or suggestions relating to the Company (including the Project) to the Operating Member and the Company’s management from time to time with the requirement that one or more members of the Operating Member’s management discuss such proposals or suggestions with CNL or its agent or Affiliate, as applicable, within a reasonable period after such submission and the right to call a meeting with the Operating Member’s management in order to discuss such proposals or suggestions; and (c) the right (i) to visit the Company’s business premises and the Project during normal business hours, (ii) to receive financial statements, operating reports, budgets or other financial reports of the Company (including those relating to the Project) on a regular basis describing the financial performance, significant proposals and other material aspects of the Company (including the Project), (iii) to examine the books and records of the Company (including those relating to the Project) and (iv) to request such other information relating to the Company (including the Project) at reasonable times and intervals in light of the Company’s normal business operations concerning the general status of the Company’s business, financial condition and operations (including the Project) but only to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Company and in a format consistent with how the Company maintains such information.

6.7 Termination of Delegation of Authority to MCR as Operating Member.

(a) CNL shall have the right, without the concurrence of MCR, to terminate the delegation of authority to MCR as Operating Member, and remove MCR as Operating Member, (i) before Completion, if Cause exists or (ii) after Completion, at any time with or without Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination by CNL and removal of MCR as Operating Member shall not affect MCR’s right to approve Major Decisions or any other matters requiring Member Consent under this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, termination of MCR as Operating Member for “Cause” shall mean termination due to any one or more of the following: (i) any material breach or default by MCR in its obligations as Operating Member as delegated by the Managing Member under this Agreement, which breach or default, if the same may be cured by

the payment of money, has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice to MCR, or if the same may not be cured by the payment of money, has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to MCR (provided, however, that MCR shall have an additional ninety (90) days to cure such breach if such breach is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, so long as MCR has commenced cure within such initial thirty (30) day period and continues to prosecute to completion with diligence and continuity the curing thereof within such additional ninety (90) day period); (ii) any act by MCR that MCR knows to be beyond the scope of its authority under this Agreement when the act is taken; (iii) in the event of any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by MCR against CNL or the Company in connection with MCR’s activities as Operating Member; (iv) the Project not Completed by the date required under the Development Agreement (except in the case of an Event of Force Majeure as defined in the Development Agreement); (v) MCR’s termination as developer pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement prior to Completion; and (vi) prior to Completion, none of the MCR Principals (or a replacement individual reasonably acceptable to CNL) is involved in management of the day-to-day operations of MCR. Such removal and termination of authority shall be effective upon delivery of written notice thereof to MCR and, upon MCR’s removal and termination, CNL shall have the right to become the substitute Operating Member, directly or through an Affiliate, or, if termination of MCR is for Cause, to appoint and delegate authority to another person as substitute Operating Member, who shall have such rights and obligations of the Operating Member as may be delegated by the Managing Member.

(c) As a condition to terminating the delegation of authority of MCR as Operating Member, and removing MCR as Operating Member, without Cause, CNL must cause the Construction Loan and any other Company Financing for which MCR or any MCR Affiliate (including the MCR Guarantor) has any personal liability to be paid in full and satisfied. MCR’s removal as Operating Member without Cause shall in no form or fashion affect MCR’s economic interest as a Member of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the right of MCR Development to receive the Development Fee provided in the Development Agreement. Furthermore, in the event of removal of MCR as Operating Member for Cause, such removal shall not in any form or fashion affect or the right of MCR Development to receive the Development Fee provided in the Development Agreement (unless the Development Agreement is also terminated) or MCR’s economic interest as a member of the Company pursuant to this Agreement unless such removal for Cause is a result of one of the matters specified in Section 9.5 of this Agreement, and then the economic interest of MCR as a Member of the Company shall be effected by such removal only to the extent provided in Section 9.5 below.

6.8 Development. The Company shall retain MCR as the developer for the Project, to act as the Company’s sole and exclusive agent to coordinate and supervise the management and administration of the development of the Project and the construction of the improvements comprising the Project. The Company and MCR are simultaneously with execution of this Agreement entering into the Development Agreement. MCR will cause Completion of the Project for a cost not to exceed the Guaranteed Price (as defined in the Development Agreement). MCR shall cause MCR Guarantor to provide all guaranties required in connection with the Construction Loan, including any completion guaranty, cost guaranty and/or construction warranty as required by the Construction Lender. As compensation for MCR’s development services, the Company agrees to pay MCR a development fee (the “Development Fee”) equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate costs in the Project Budget.

6.9 Management Agreement. The Company will enter into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Property Manager to manage the Project, pursuant to which, as compensation for the services described therein, Property Manager shall be paid a property management fee as set forth in the Management Agreement. The initial Property Manager will be an Affiliate of MCR designated by MCR, which initial Property Manager shall be paid a property management fee of 2.50% of gross receipts from the Project with a monthly floor of $8,000. The Members shall negotiate the terms of the Management Agreement with the initial Property Manager in good faith. The MCR Affiliated Property Manager shall not be terminated by the Company unless (i) MCR is removed as the Operating Member in accordance with Section 6.7 or (ii) the MCR Affiliated Property Manager is in default under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable cure periods. Should the Management Agreement with the initial Property Manager terminate for any reason, the Company will enter into a replacement Management Agreement for management of the Project subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 6.2.

6.10 Contracts with Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, CNL shall have the authority to enforce the remedies of the Company, and the sole and exclusive right to grant any waiver of performance, under any contract with MCR or an Affiliate of MCR, including the Development Agreement, the Construction Contract and the Management Agreement with the initial Property Manager pursuant to Section 6.8.

6.11 Indemnification of Members; Exculpation. The Company shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend each of the Managing Member and the Operating Member and each of their respective Affiliates from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, and other proceedings, and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability (including fees and expenses of attorneys and other professional advisors and court costs) arising out of or relating to (i) the status as a Member of the Company or its relationship with the Company or, to the extent related to the Company, another Member or (ii) any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Managing Member or the Operating Member in the performance of their respective duties as Managing Member or Operating Member hereunder, or otherwise in their capacity as the Managing Member or Operating Member, as to any Member or its Affiliates provided that such decision or action taken, omitted or suffered by such Managing Member or Operating Member, as applicable, was done so in the reasonable and good faith belief that such decision or action was in the best interest of the Company and within the authority of such Managing Member or Operating Member, as applicable and did not involve or result from (x) fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Member or any of its Affiliates, (y) the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Member or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or, in the case of MCR, the Development Agreement, the Construction Contract or the Management Agreement with MCR’s Affiliated Property Manager or (z) the knowing breach of any representation or warranty made by the Member in this Agreement. A Member will not be liable or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or the other Member for anything the Member may do or refrain from doing in managing the business, properties and affairs of the Company provided that such decision or action taken, omitted or suffered by such Member was done so in the reasonable and good faith belief that such decision or action was in the best interest of the Company and did not involve or result from (a) fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Member or (b) actions that the Member knows to be outside the scope of its authority as allowed by this Agreement when taken. MCR’s responsibility in respect of design and construction of the Project is as provided in the Development Agreement, and MCR will have no greater responsibility solely in respect of design and construction of the Project than as provided in the Development Agreement.

6.12 Leasing Guidelines. The Members shall negotiate in good faith to develop and agree upon initial Leasing Guidelines for the lease up of the Project as an apartment community following the execution of this Agreement and prior to the execution of any lease within the Project. The Members shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Leasing Guidelines as may be necessary from time to time. All Leasing Guidelines shall be approved by Member Consent.

(d) In its preparation of the financial statements set forth in this Section 7.1, the Operating Member shall maintain a system of internal controls necessary for CNL to complete CNL’s Sarbanes-Oxley certifications, as requested by CNL; provided, however, that to the extent the testing of the Company’s internal controls or the implementation of internal controls to satisfy CNL’s standards causes the Company or the Operating Member to incur non de minimus expenses, CNL shall bear the responsibility for such expenses. CNL shall from time to time advise the Operating Member of the requirements necessary to meet CNL’s Sarbanes-Oxley standards so as to allow the Operating Member to implement appropriate internal controls.

7.3 Audits. In addition to the annual audit of the Company as required under Section 7.1(c), any Member may, at its option and at its own expense, conduct internal audits of the books, records and accounts of the Company.

If any Member shall fail to give such notice within said forty-five (45) day period, such statement and the contents thereof shall, in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct by the Member or the independent certified public accountants preparing the statements, be deemed conclusive and binding upon such Member so failing to give such notice subject, in the case of the statements provided for in Section 7.1(b) to the audit provided for in Section 7.1(c). Objections to any statement and any disputes concerning the findings of, and questions raised as the result of, audits of the Company’s books shall be settled by Member Consent.

The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared, on an accrual basis, all federal, state, municipal and other governmental partnership income tax returns required to be filed. Unless otherwise determined by Member Consent, such tax returns shall be prepared by independent certified public accountants selected pursuant to Section 7.6, who shall sign such returns as preparers.

7.6 Tax Matters Partner. CNL is hereby appointed the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Company for all purposes pursuant to Sections 6221-6231 of the Code, with respect to operations conducted by the Company during the period that CNL is a Member. The Tax Matters Partner shall comply with the requirements of Section 6221 through 6232 of the Code. The Tax Matters Partner shall have the authority, in its reasonable discretion, to select and appoint, from time to time, independent certified public accountants to prepare tax returns and annual audited financial statements for the Company, the expense of which shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Partner shall have no authority to bind the Company or any other Member.

7.7 Tax Policy. The Company shall make any and all tax accounting and reporting elections and adopt such procedures as shall be approved by Member Consent. A Member shall be deemed to have consented to any tax election made by the Tax Matters Partner if (i) such election is described in reasonable detail in a written notice to such Member and (ii) such Member shall not have objected in writing to such election within fifteen (15) days following such Member’s receipt of such notice, indicating in reasonable detail the objection of such Member and the basis for such objection.

At the request of a Member, the Company shall make and file a timely election under Section 754 of the Code (and a corresponding election under applicable state or local law) in the event of a transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company permitted hereunder or the distribution of property to a Member to the extent that such election results in a positive basis adjustment to the Company’s property. Any Member or transferee first requesting an election hereunder shall reimburse to the Company the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such election, including any legal or accountants’ fees. Thereafter, each Member or transferee shall reimburse such expenses with respect to adjustments under Section 743 of the Code in the proportion which the interest of each Member or transferee bears to the sum of the interests of all such Members or transferees.

7.9 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (each, a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and this Section 7.9 shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith. Whenever the Company would be permitted to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, the Company may so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members and the Company shall so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Members are adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property, (ii) the Members’ distributive shares of depreciation,

depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and (iii) the amount of upward and/or downward adjustments to the book value of the Company property shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of applying the allocation provisions of Article 8. In the event that Code Section 704(c) applies to Company property, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain and loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property.

ARTICLE 8. ALLOCATIONS

8.1 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. After application of Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, and subject to Section 8.2, any remaining Net Income or Net Loss for a taxable year (or other period for which the Treasury Regulations requires an allocation to be made) shall be allocated among the Members and to their Capital Accounts as may be required to cause the balances of the Members’ Capital Accounts (in the case of each Member, increased by (i) such Member’s obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and (ii) the share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain allocable to the Member, as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2) to be as nearly equal to their Target Balances as possible, consistent with the provisions of Section 8.5. To the extent the allocation of Net Income or Net Loss does not cause the Capital Account of each Member (as so adjusted) to equal its Target Balance, items of income or gain (including items of gross income) will be reallocated to any Member with a Capital Account (as so adjusted) which is less than its Target Balance, and items of loss, deduction or expense will be reallocated to any Member with a Capital Account (as so adjusted) that is greater than its Target Balance, in each case in such manner as to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the aggregate differences between Target Balances and Capital Accounts (as so adjusted).

8.2 Loss Limitation. Net Loss allocated pursuant to Section 8.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Loss that can be allocated without causing or increasing a deficit balance in a Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. A Member’s “Adjusted Capital Account” balance shall mean such Member’s Capital Account balance increased by such Member’s obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and decreased by the amounts described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6). In the event that one but not all of the Members would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account as a consequence of an allocation of Net Loss pursuant to Section 8.1 in excess of the amount, if any, permitted under the first sentence of this Section 8.2, the limitation set forth in this Section 8.2 shall be applied by allocating 100% of the remaining Net Loss to the other Members, pursuant to Section 8.1 (subject to the limit in this Section 8.2), until the Adjusted Capital Account of each such other Member is zero.

8.3 Minimum Gain Chargebacks and Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a taxable year (or other period for which the Treasury Regulations requires an allocation to be made), the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning for “partnership minimum gain” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2), and any Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1). This Section 8.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(b) Nonrecourse Deductions. Subject to Section 8.2, Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Nonrecourse Deductions” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1). This Section 8.3(b) is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(c) Member Nonrecourse Debt. To the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company that are attributable to a nonrecourse debt of the Company that constitutes Member Nonrecourse Debt (including chargebacks of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain) shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Member Nonrecourse Debt” shall have the meaning for “partner nonrecourse debt” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), and the term “Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning for “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2). This Section 8.3(c) is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (including the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

8.4 Qualified Income Offset. Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of any obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account (including any deemed deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and adjusted as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and a manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible. This Section 8.4 is intended to comply with the alternate test for economic effect set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

8.5 Code Section 704(b) Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 8.3(a), 8.3(b), 8.3(c) and 8.4 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 8 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), if any Regulatory

Allocation is made, income, gain, loss and deduction shall thereafter be reallocated to the extent that such reallocation causes the net aggregate amount of allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss to each Member to be equal to as closely as possible the net aggregate amount of such items that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This Section 8.5 shall be interpreted and applied in such a manner and to such extent as is reasonably necessary to eliminate, as quickly as possible, distortions that would otherwise occur as a consequence of the Regulatory Allocations in the absence of this Section 8.5.

8.6 Other Allocation Provisions. The Managing Member shall make all applicable elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular item of expenses and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return).

8.7 Distributions of Nonrecourse Liability Proceeds. If the Company makes a distribution to any Member that may be allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 2(h), then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704 2(h), minimize the amount of such distribution that is allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain.

8.8 Taxable Year; Fiscal Year. The taxable year of the Company shall be the calendar year, unless otherwise required by the Code or, subject to obtaining consent of the Internal Revenue Service, the Members determine otherwise by Member Consent. The fiscal year of the Company shall be the calendar year unless the Members determine otherwise by Member Consent.

8.9 Recapture. Any recapture of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to the respective amounts of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions allocated to each Member; provided, however, that this provision addresses only the character of the Net Income allocated to a Member, and the recapture amount allocated to any Member shall not exceed the total Net Income allocated to such Member for the applicable period.

ARTICLE 9. DISTRIBUTIONS

9.1 Percentage Interests in Company. The percentage interest of the respective Members in the Company (“Percentage Interest”) shall be:


CNL:	95	%

The Percentage Interest of each Member is subject to the preferred and priority rights provided for herein and adjustment pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(d).

Subject to the terms of Section 4.5(d) hereof, the Company shall distribute Operating Cash Flow for each month during the term of the Company in which there is Operating Cash Flow (such distribution to be made monthly, within twenty-one (21) days after the end of each such month) to the Members, as follows:

(a) First, if any Member has Disproportionate Capital, to the Members with Disproportionate Capital, pari passu, in accordance with the respective outstanding balance of Disproportionate Capital of each Member, until each Member’s Disproportionate Capital has been reduced to zero;

(b) Second, to the Members, pari passu, in accordance with the outstanding balances of the Members’ respective Unreturned Operating Return on Disproportionate Capital, until each Member’s Unreturned Operating Return balance on Disproportionate Capital has been reduced to zero;

(c) Third, to the Members, pari passu, in accordance with the outstanding balances of the Members’ respective Unreturned Operating Return on Unreturned Initial Capital, until each Member’s Unreturned Operating Return balance on Unreturned Initial Capital has been reduced to zero;

9.5 Loss of Promoted Interest. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4, MCR shall no longer have the right to distributions with respect to its so-called “promoted interest” (i.e. the portion of distributions allocated specifically to MCR, as opposed to all Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests), as such distributions are set forth in Sections 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i), in the event that MCR is terminated as developer pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement prior to Completion of the Project. Upon the loss of MCR’s promoted interests set forth in Sections 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i), such Sections 9. 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i) shall be deemed revised to provide that all distributions thereunder shall be made to the Members (including MCR) pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests, and MCR shall no longer be entitled to any distributions under Section 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i) in excess of a distribution based on its Percentage Interest. Without limiting the foregoing, if CNL terminates and removes MCR as the Operating Member in accordance with Section 6.7 other than as a result of MCR’s termination as developer pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement, such termination and removal shall not cause MCR to lose the promoted interests set forth in Sections 9.4(g), 9.4(h) and 9.4(i); provided, however, that such promoted interest shall remain subject to dilution as provided in Section 4.5(d).

9.6 No Distributions In Kind. A Member may require that all distributions be made in cash, and no Member shall be obligated to accept any distribution in kind from the Company.

None of the Company or the Members will be required to recognize any Transfer of an Entire Interest or part thereof in violation of this Article 10.

CNL shall have the right to obtain, at the Company’s expense, a tax opinion from recognized tax counsel as to the federal income tax consequences of any such proposed sale.

(c) If CNL has forwarded a copy of the Sale Notice to MCR, MCR shall, within forty-five (45) days after receiving a copy of the Sale Notice, elect one of the following options:

(i) notify CNL in writing that MCR has no objection to CNL marketing the Project, in which case CNL may cause the Company to market and sell the Project, provided that (A) the price obtained for the Project is at least the Stated Price and the sale complies with all other material terms and conditions stated in the Sale Notice, (B) the contract to acquire the Project is executed within four (4) months following CNL’s receipt of MCR’s response under this item (i) or any deemed election not to purchase CNL’s Entire Interest pursuant to item (ii) below and (C) the outside closing date under such contract is no later than ninety (90) days after the date of execution of such contract; or

Such notification shall be accompanied by an escrow deposit with a nationally recognized title insurance company in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the CNL Price (such amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being hereinafter called the “CNL Sale Deposit”), which amount shall be non-refundable, unless the purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) does not close due to the default of CNL or an event described in Section 10.8(e). Notice of MCR’s election to purchase shall be addressed to CNL and shall set forth the place of closing which, unless the Members shall otherwise agree, shall be at the office of the Company, during usual business hours on a date specified by MCR within sixty (60) days after the date of the giving of the applicable notice of election to CNL. The CNL Sale Deposit shall be credited against the CNL Price. If the closing shall fail to occur because of a default by MCR, CNL shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (i) to retain the CNL Sale Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance CNL’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain or (ii) to exercise its rights under Section 10.8. If MCR shall not have given notice to CNL of its election to purchase CNL’s Entire Interest within the forty-five (45) day notice period, MCR shall be deemed to have exercised the option provided in subsection (i) above.

The Sale Proposal shall include a statement as to the total purchase price for the Project (“Property Value”) that formed the basis for the stated purchase price for each Entire Interest, which purchase price shall be calculated from the Property Value on the same basis as provided in Section 10.8(a).

(b) Within forty-five (45) days after receiving a copy of the Sale Proposal, the Responding Member shall notify the Proposer:

(i) that the Responding Member is agreeable to the sale of its Entire Interest to the Proposer in accordance with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal; or

(ii) that the Responding Member elects to purchase the Entire Interest of the Proposer at the Reply Price (as defined below) determined in accordance with Section 10.8(a) and otherwise in accordance with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal, as modified in accordance with Section 10.8(a).

Such notification shall be in addressed to the Proposer. Failure of the Responding Member to respond to the Sale Proposal within the forty-five (45) period set forth in this Section 10.7(b) shall be deemed an election by the Responding Member to sell its Entire Interest under Section 10.7(b)(i).

(c) Notification of election by the Responding Member shall be delivered to the Proposer. Upon delivery of such notification, the Member obligated to purchase shall, within five (5) days, make an escrow deposit with a nationally recognized title insurance company in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Property Value (such amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being hereinafter called the “Buy-Sell Deposit”), which amount shall be non-refundable unless the purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 10.7 does not close due to the default of the Member obligated to purchase or an event described in Section 10.8(h).

(d) Unless otherwise agreed by the Members, closing shall be at the office of the Company, during usual business hours on a date specified by the Member obligated to purchase within sixty (60) days after the date of the giving of the notice of election under Section 10.7(b) or, if no such notice is given, expiration of the forty-five (45) period referenced in Section 10.7(b). The Buy-Sell Deposit shall be credited against the total purchase price for the Entire Interest being purchased pursuant to this Section 10.7; provided, however, that, if the closing shall fail to occur because of a default by the Member obligated to purchase, subject to the provisions of Section 10.7(b) above concerning refundability of the deposit, the Member obligated to sell shall have the right to retain the Buy-Sell Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance the actual damages of the Member obligated to sell would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. The provisions of Section 10.8 shall be applicable to any sale in accordance with this Section 10.7. Each Member shall pay a portion of any transfer or similar taxes due in connection with the sale of an Entire Interest under this Section 10.7 in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest.

(e) If the Responding Member elects to purchase the Entire Interest of the Proposer and if the Responding Member subsequently defaults in its obligation to buy the Entire Interest of the Proposer when and as required by this Section 10.7, then (i) the Proposer may retain the Buy-Sell Deposit as liquidated damages (as provided in Section 10.7(d) above), it being agreed that in such instance the Proposer’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and (ii) for a period of up to seven months after such default, the Proposer may proceed to market the Project for sale on behalf of the Company. Marketing of the Project shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner (which shall include engaging a third party broker) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Proposal, to the extent applicable to a sale to a third party purchaser, and sell the Project for a price not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Property Value, payable only in cash, and on such terms as were set forth in the Sale Proposal. The Proposer shall obtain the Responding Member’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to the selection of a third party purchaser to purchase the Project; provided, however, that if the Responding Member unreasonably withholds its consent to the selection of the third party purchaser, then the Proposer shall have the right to purchase the Responding Member’s Entire Interest as if Responding Member had elected to sell its Entire Interest to the Proposer under 10.7(b)(i), with the closing to occur on a date designated by the Proposer not later than sixty (60) days after delivery of the notice of the Proposer’s election to buy. If the foregoing conditions are not met, and the buy-sell process of this Section 10.7 is again initiated by a Member, such Member shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.7.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, if CNL has delivered a Sale Notice under Section 10.6, no Member shall have the right to deliver a Sale Proposal under this Section 10.7 unless and until a proposed sale of the Project is not consummated in accordance with the terms of Section 10.6.

10.8 Provisions Generally Applicable to Sales. The following provisions shall be applicable to sales under Sections 10.6, 10.7 and/or 13.2, and, with respect to 10.8(c), Section 4.5(a), as indicated:

(a) If under the provisions of Section 10.7, either Party (the “Offering Party”) makes an offer the (“10.7 Offer”) to the other party (the “Other Party”) to purchase its Entire Interest, the purchase price (the “Reply Price”) payable by the Other Party to the Offering Party, if the Other Party exercise its election to purchase the Entire Interest of the Offering Party, shall be determined as follows:

(i) In the event this Section 10.8(a) is triggered in the context of Section 10.7, there shall be determined the “Value” of the Company, after payment of debts, liabilities and expenses, based upon the amount of the 10.7 Offer. The Value shall equal the total amount which would have been available for distribution and payment by the Company to all of the Members after payment of debts, liabilities and expenses under Section 13.5 as if the Company was being liquidated and the Project sold for the Property Value set forth in the 10.7 Offer.

(ii) After determining the Value, there shall then be determined the amount which would have been distributable and payable to the Offering Party under Sections 4.5(d) and 9.4 and in payment of Member Loans made by the selling Member if the Value had been paid out by the Company to the Members. Such amount which would have been distributable and/or payable to the Offering Party equals the Reply Price.

(b) For purposes of any sale of an Entire Interest of a Member, the purchase price associated with such sale shall be adjusted to reflect (i) assets and liabilities of the Company reflected in the Company’s financial statements and not otherwise taken into account in calculation of the purchase price for the Entire Interest and (ii) assets and liabilities of the Company known to either Member and not reflected in the Company’s financial statements available to all Members at the time of closing for transfer of the Entire Interest. The purchase price, as so adjusted, shall be determined ten (10) Business Days prior to closing and shall be subject to such post-closing adjustments as the circumstances may require. The purchase price, as so adjusted, shall be paid, at the selling Member’s option, in cash, by certified check drawn to the order of the selling Member, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the selling Member’s account. All prorations of real estate taxes, rents and other items to be prorated shall be made as of the date of closing of the sale of the Entire Interest. All title insurance policies, surveys and recording fees shall be paid for by the party usually charged with such payment under local custom.

(c) On purchase of an Entire Interest, the purchasing Member shall, at its option, either (i) deliver a release of the selling Member and each of its Affiliates (including if MCR is the selling Member, the MCR Guarantor) from all liability, direct or contingent, by all holders of all Company debts, obligations or claims against the Company for which the Member or any of its Affiliates is or may be personally liable, except for any debts, obligations or claims which are fully insured by public liability insurer(s) acceptable to the selling Member, or (ii) cause all such debts, obligations or claims to be paid in full at the closing. On purchase of an Entire Interest, including for purposes of this sentence, a purchase of an Entire Interest pursuant to Section 4.5(a), the purchasing Member must agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the selling Member and its Affiliates against any claim, suit, action or other proceeding and all related loss, damages, judgments, settlements, obligations, liabilities, debts, damages and costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals and court costs) incurred by the selling Member or any of its Affiliates on account of liabilities or obligations of the Company incurred following the closing (except to the extent related to or arising from defaults by the seller Member or its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Construction Contract, the Development Agreement, the Management Agreement, or other agreements between the Company and such Member or its Affiliates) and agreements relating to any Company Financing. On purchase of an Entire Interest, including for the purposes of this sentence, a purchase pursuant to Section 4.5(a), the selling Member must agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the purchasing Member and its Affiliates and the Company against any claim, suit, action or other proceeding and all related loss, damages, judgments, settlements, obligations, liabilities, debts, damages and costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals and court costs) incurred by the purchasing Member or any

of its Affiliates or the Company on account of liabilities or obligations of the Company incurred prior to the closing of such purchase to the extent related to or arising from defaults by the seller Member or its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Construction Contract, the Development Agreement, the Management Agreement, or other agreements between the Company and such Member or its Affiliates.

(d) The Company shall provide the Members such tax information and reporting as may be required by the Members in connection with such sale within a reasonable period following such sale.

(e) All Members (including the selling Members) shall be entitled to any distributions of Operating Cash Flow from the Company accrued through the closing of the sale of an Entire Interest. The right of a selling Member to receive Operating Cash Flow (to the extent it is not distributed prior to transfer of its Entire Interest) will survive transfer of the Entire Interest as a debt of the Company owed to the selling Member and payable as soon as the amount due can be calculated.

(f) If the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty, or if any entity possessing the right of eminent domain shall give notice of an intention to take or acquire a substantial part of the Project, and such damage occurs, or such notice is given, between the date a Sale Notice, a Sale Proposal or an Appraisal Notice is given and the closing date of the purchase of an Entire Interest, the following shall apply:

(i) If the Project is damaged by an insured casualty not to exceed $500,000)(or an uninsured casualty not resulting in damage in excess of $50,000) or if the taking or acquisition shall not result in a substantial (in excess of two percent (2%)) reduction in the income producing capacity of the Project, then the purchasing Member shall be required to complete the transaction.

(ii) If the Project is damaged by an uninsured casualty resulting in damage in excess of $50,000, or if the taking or acquisition shall result in a substantial (in excess of two percent (2%)) reduction in the income producing capacity of the Project, or if there is an insured casualty in excess of $500,000, then the purchasing Member shall have the option (to be exercised within thirty (30) days from the date of the occurrence of the casualty or receipt of the notice of condemnation) to cancel the purchase and, in the case of a transaction under Section 10.6 or Section 10.7, have the CNL Sale Deposit or the Buy-Sell Deposit, as applicable, returned.

In the event that the purchase is canceled by the purchasing Member pursuant to the above provisions, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect and continue to be binding on the parties.

(g) At the closing of the sale of the Entire Interest of a Member, the selling Member shall execute an assignment of its Membership Interest in the Company and its interest in all Member Loans and Failing Member Loans made by it, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims (except those created by this Agreement and liens in connection with the Company Financing), which assignment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member, and such other instruments as the purchasing

Member shall reasonably require to assign the Entire Interest of the selling Member to such person or entity as the purchasing Member may designate. For any sale or transfer under this Article 10 or Section 13.2, the purchasing Member may designate the assignee of the Entire Interest, which assignee need not be an Affiliate of the purchasing Member, subject to the other Member’s reasonable consent.

(h) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the requirements or obligations, if any, of one Member to sell its Entire Interest to another Member shall be enforceable by an action for specific performance of a contract relating to the purchase of real property or an interest therein. In the event that the selling Member shall have created or suffered any unauthorized liens, encumbrances or other adverse interests against either the Project or the selling Member’s Entire Interest, the purchasing Member shall be entitled either to an action for specific performance to compel the selling Member to have such defects removed, in which case the closing shall be adjourned for such purpose, or, at the purchasing Member’s option, to an appropriate offset against the purchase price. In addition, the purchasing Member shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs associated with enforcement under this Section 10.8(h).

(i) In the case of a transaction under Section 10.6 or Section 10.7, the purchase price of an Entire Interest will be decreased by all distributions (except distributions of Operating Cash Flow) made on or after the date of the Sale Notice or Sale Proposal, as applicable, to the extent allocable to the selling Member’s Membership Interest, and increased by all Capital Contributions made by the selling Member on or after the date of the Sale Notice or Sale Proposal, as applicable.

(j) Each Member will be responsible for all legal, accounting and similar fees incurred by it in connection with any transfer of an Entire Interest pursuant to Section 10.6, 10.7 or 13.2.

(k) Failing Member Loans will be taken into account in setting the CNL Price, the Reply Price or the price due under Section 13.2, with the consequence that the amount payable to the selling Member will be increased (up to the amount of the distributions that would be paid the other Member in the assumed liquidation calculation) if the selling Member is the holder of any Failing Member Loan or decreased (up to the amount of distributions in the assumed liquidation redirected toward repayment of any Failing Member Loan) if the selling Member is the obligor on any Failing Member Loan.

10.9 Compliance with ERISA.

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days before each transfer of a direct interest in MCR, MCR shall cause the proposed transferee to deliver to CNL a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(b) On the closing or consummation of a Member Loan or Failing Member Loan, (i) MCR shall deliver to CNL a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit E and (ii) CNL shall deliver to MCR a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit F.

(c) If there is a proposed sale of the Project pursuant to Section 10.6 and a Member buys the Project, (i) MCR shall deliver to CNL a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit E and (ii) CNL shall deliver to MCR a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit F.

(d) If there is a proposed sale of an Entire Interest pursuant to Section 10.6, 10.7 or 13.2, (i) MCR shall deliver to CNL a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit E and (ii) CNL shall deliver to MCR a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit F.

(e) Anything else in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, CNL may, following the receipt by it of a certification by MCR or a proposed transferee provided for in this Section 10.9, to notify MCR that it has determined that the proposed transaction would result in a transfer of a Membership Interest in the Company to a person other than an Acceptable Person and/or in a Plan Violation. If CNL notifies MCR that any such proposed transaction would constitute a Plan Violation, then the proposed transaction shall not be consummated and any attempt to do so shall be void. If CNL notifies MCR that it has determined that no Plan Violation will result from the proposed transaction, or if CNL fails to respond within five (5) Business Days, then the proposed transaction may be consummated; provided, however, that such transaction must be consummated no later than (i) the twentieth (20^th) day after the delivery to MCR by CNL of a notice that it has determined the proposed transaction will not result in a Plan Violation or the expiration of such five (5) Business Days with no response from CNL or (ii) if Section 10.6 is applicable and provides for a closing that is later than such twenty (20) day period, the latest day that such Section 10.6 permits such closing to occur.

(f) MCR shall indemnify CNL and defend and hold CNL harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense that CNL may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a (i) default by MCR under this Section 10.9, (ii) a breach of a representation or warranty given by MCR under this Section 10.9, or (iii) any material misstatement or omission in a certification by MCR or proposed transferee of MCR which is given to CNL pursuant to this Section 10.9. The liability, excise taxes, penalties, interest, loss, cost, damage and expense will include attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and losses incurred in (i) correcting any Plan Violation, (ii) the sale of a prohibited Company interest, or (ii) obtaining any individual exemption for a Plan Violation that may be required in CNL’s sole discretion. This indemnity shall survive (x) the sale of the Project or MCR’s Entire Interest and (y) termination of this Agreement.

(g) The Company will not enter into any agreement or transaction that CNL determines, in its reasonable judgment, would result in a Plan Violation. CNL shall deliver a written notice of each such determination to MCR together with an explanation of the reasons for the determination.

(h) Upon any Member’s reasonable request, the Members agree to cooperate with each other’s efforts to discover and correct Plan Violations.

ARTICLE 11. DISSOLUTION OR BANKRUPTCY OF A MEMBER

11.1 Dissolution or Merger. If MCR shall be dissolved, or merged with or consolidated into another corporation or other entity, or if all or substantially all of its assets shall be sold or transferred, then unless such dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer is expressly permitted under Article 10, such dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer shall, at CNL’s election, be a dissolution of the Company, and CNL shall be the Liquidating Member in the dissolution of the Company. If CNL shall be dissolved, or merged with or consolidated into another corporation or other entity, or if all or substantially all of its assets shall be sold or transferred, then unless such dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer is expressly permitted under Article 10, such dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer shall, at MCR’s election, be a dissolution of the Company, and MCR shall be the Liquidating Member in the dissolution of the Company.

11.2 Bankruptcy, etc. In the event:

(a) any Member shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or seek any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief for itself under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state, or other statute or law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of said Member or its Membership Interest in the Company (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge any order, judgment or decree providing for such appointment within sixty (60) days after the appointment); or

(b) any Member shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature;

(c) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against any Member seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, and said Member shall acquiesce in the entry for such order, judgment or decree (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge such order, judgment or decree within sixty (60) days after the entry of the order, judgment or decree) or such order, judgment or decree shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) from the date of entry thereof, or any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of said Member or of all or any substantial part of said Member’s property or its Membership Interest in the Company shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of said Member and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive); or

(d) any Member shall give notice to any governmental body of insolvency, or pending insolvency, or suspension or pending suspension of operations; or

(e) any Member shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or take any other similar action for the protection or benefit of creditors;

then such event shall, at the election of any other Member, cause the dissolution of the Company and such electing Member shall be the Liquidating Member.

11.3 Reconstitution. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 and 11.2, the remaining Member may, within ninety (90) days of any event described in this Article 11, elect to continue the Company. An appropriate amendment to or cancellation of the Certificate of Formation and all other filings required by law shall be made in accordance with any action taken pursuant to this Section 11.3.

ARTICLE 12. CROSS-DEFAULT

Any termination for Cause by the Managing Member of the delegation of authority given to MCR as the Operating Member in accordance with Section 6.7 of this Agreement shall give CNL, in its sole and absolute discretion, the right to terminate MCR as developer under the Development Agreement, and any termination of MCR as developer pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement shall give CNL the right to terminate the delegation of authority given to MCR as Operating Member in accordance with Section 6.7 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13. DISSOLUTION

13.1 Winding Up by Members. Upon dissolution of the Company by expiration of the term hereof, by operation of law, by any provision of this Agreement or by agreement between the Members, the Company’s business shall be wound up and all its assets distributed in liquidation. In such dissolution, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13.2 or Article 11, the Members shall be co-liquidating Members and shall act by Member Consent. In such event the Members shall have rights acting by Member Consent to wind up the Company and shall proceed to cause the Company’s property to be sold and to distribute the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 13.5.

13.2 Winding Up by Liquidating Member.

(a) In a dissolution pursuant to either Section 4.5(d)(iii) or Article 11, the Liquidating Member shall be as therein provided and such Liquidating Member shall have the right to:

(i) Wind up the Company and cause the Company’s assets to be sold and the proceeds of sale distributed as provided in Section 13.5; or

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cause the assets of the Company to be appraised in accordance with Section 13.2(c) and, at its option, purchase the Entire Interest of the other Member in accordance with Section 13.2(b).

(b) The Liquidating Member, within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the dissolution of the Company may give notice (the “Appraisal Notice”) to the other Member electing to have the Fair Market Value of the Company’s assets determined by appraisal pursuant to Section 13.2(c). The fees and expenses of such appraisers shall be borne by the Company. The Liquidating Member shall have the option, by notice given to the other Member within thirty (30) days after receipt of the determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 13.2(c), to purchase the other Member’s Entire Interest at a price equal to the amount which would have been distributable and payable to the other Member under Section 4.5(d) and Section 9.4 and in payment of all Member Loans to the Company made by the other Member if all of the Company’s assets had been sold for an amount equal to such Fair Market Value, all debts, liabilities and expenses of the Company were paid and the Company were liquidated. If after the receipt of the determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 13.2(c), the Liquidating Member elects not to exercise the option to purchase the other Member’s Entire Interest pursuant to this Section 13.2(b), then the Liquidating Member shall have all of its rights under this Agreement as if the Appraisal Notice had not been given. All of the provisions of Section 10.8 shall apply to a purchase under this Section 13.2(b).

(c) If the fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the assets of the Company is required for purposes of Section 13.2(b), such Fair Market Value, if not otherwise agreed upon by the Members, shall be determined as set forth in this Section 13.2(c). All appraisers referred to herein shall be real estate appraisers which are members of the Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers for the state in which the Property is located for at least seven (7) years. As used herein, Fair Market Value is the fair market value of all the assets of the Company. Each of CNL and MCR shall select one (1) appraiser. In the event that either party fails to select an appraiser within thirty (30) days after notice of the exercise of an option or election requiring a valuation, then such party’s appraiser shall be selected by the other Member. After the selection, each appraiser shall independently determine the gross fair market value of the assets of the Company and, if they agree on the Fair Market Value, such decision shall be conclusive and binding on all Members. If the separate appraisals differ, the Members shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of the appraisals to agree on the Fair Market Value and, if they agree on the Fair Market Value, such decision shall be conclusive and binding on all Members. In the event the Members cannot agree on the Fair Market Value in accordance with the preceding sentence, the two appraisers referred to therein shall within ten (10) days after the expiration of the ten (10) day period described in the preceding sentence select a third appraiser. In the absence of such a selection, the third appraiser shall be selected by the Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers for the state in which the Property is located on application of either Member. The third appraiser shall decide which of the two appraisals established by the appraisers in accordance with this Section 13.3(c) is closer to the gross fair market value of the assets of the Company, and such decision shall be conclusive and binding on all Members.

13.3 Offset for Damages. In the event of dissolution resulting from an event described in Article 11, the Liquidating Member shall be entitled to deduct from the amount payable to the other Member pursuant to Section 13.2(a) or 13.2(b), Section 13.4 or Section 13.5, the amount of damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the Liquidating Member proximately resulting from any such event, but only if and as established by a court order.

13.4 Distributions of Operating Cash Flow. Subject to Section 13.5 as to proceeds of liquidation, upon the dissolution of the Company for any reason, during the period of liquidation and until termination of the Company, the Members shall continue to receive the Operating Cash Flow and to share Net Income and Net Loss for all tax and other purposes as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

13.5 Distributions of Proceeds of Liquidation. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First. To the payment of (i) debts and liabilities of the Company, including Member Loans, and (ii) expenses of liquidation.

(b) Second. To the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member or Members, whichever is in control of the liquidation, may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company. Such reserves may be deposited by the Company in a bank or trust company acceptable to the Liquidating Member or Members, whichever is in control of the liquidation, to be held by it for the purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of any of the aforementioned liabilities or obligations, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating Member or Members, whichever is in control of the liquidation, shall deem advisable, distributing the balance, if any, thereafter remaining, in a manner hereinafter provided.

13.6 Orderly Liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the losses normally attendant upon a liquidation.

13.7 Financial Statements. During the period of winding up, all the financial statements provided for in Section 7.1 shall be prepared and furnished to each of the Members, until complete liquidation is accomplished.

13.8 Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts. At no time, including on dissolution of the Company or liquidation by a Member of its Membership Interest in the Company, shall a Member with a deficit balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or to another Member or to any other person to restore such deficit balance.
